“Haley was an amazing host! Very communicative and kept us informed through the entire visit. Our Copper really seemed to enjoy his weekend stay! We will definitely use Haley’s services again! 5 ⭐️”
“They are amazing ! This is the first time we ever left our 12 year old dog. They sent me daily pictures and updates. He truly loved it there! We will be using them again and again!”
“Rachel was great, she made it convenient for me to drop my dog off for boarding, and when I picked him Up he jumped over to Rachel and gave her a big hug, I think he wanted to stay with her, he might like her more than me!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for my entire life, including pet sitting for neighbors and friends. Growing up, we mostly had large breeds dogs, making me uniquely qualified for watching large breeds. My parents’ Newfie is a common household guest. We currently have a Beagle and a Golden Retriever who love making new friends! My husband and I both work from home so we are able to provide constant love and attention throughout the day and can provide lots of potty breaks if requested. At most, dogs may be alone for an hour or two for errands. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take extra precautions to ensure a secure and comfortable environment. We have a fenced in backyard with a 6 foot privacy fence and dogs are always supervised while outside. Clear communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates.
“We never like leaving our dog behind, but we felt at ease leaving him with Natalia in her lovely home. They made him part of the family. We loved that her kids played with him and appreciated the photos and updates she sent. He enjoyed having another doggie friend during his visit. We will definitely be reaching out to Natalia for our next trip and feel great that our dog was loved and cared for while we were away.”
About: We have each had dogs our entire lives. We currently have husky who is 1 1/2 years old and a 2 year old mini Australian Shepherd. They are both rescues. They are playful and enjoy being around other dogs. Free for plenty of walks and playtime during the day. I work from home with a very flexible schedule and will be able to keep a good eye on your dog. We have a pet friendly home inside and out. Our yard is fenced in. We have dog toys and balls all over. The dogs get plenty of exercise throughout the day.
“I was so pleased with my dog’s stay with this boarder. She sent me daily updates and made sure I knew Oreo was being treated with the BEST care! This was my first experience leaving Oreo with a someone outside my family and all of my insecurities went away the very first day he was there. I would highly recommend her and will definitely reach out again if I need to leave Oreo again!”
“This was the first time I used a Rover sitter and I couldn’t be more happier! Kyle was amazing!! He sent me pictures and kept in contact with me to let me know how things were going. He gave my dog constant attention and took him for walks. I truly think my dog misses him, which makes me very happy cause I know he was well taken care of by Kyle!!”
“Thank you Kathy" we really appreciate the care and attention you gave to Patch. I WILL DEFINITELY BE CALLING YOU AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. I love the way you are with him and can't thank you enough for being the perfect dogsitter..”
“This was our second booking with Keksey. She's super easy going and great with our fur baby. Her dog, Mozilla, also seems to enjoy Lilys company. We got some pics of the dogs playing together and some chill time pics too. Im an anxious dog dad because I worry about my dog when im not around but Kelsey has taken great care of her on both occasions. I highly recommend her anyone who needs care for their baby. Just dont take any of the dates I need. 🤣”
“Absolutely outstanding with our pup, sent us pictures of Zoey during her stay and was super attentive and thorough to our pets needs. Will book with Kaitlynn again! Thank you!”
“We are returning customers and when we were planning for an out-of-town trip, there was no question of where to go for boarding for our pup. I was confident that he would be in good hands and enjoying himself in a comfortable and fun atmosphere while we were away. We are very thankful for her great care--thanks again, Katie!!”
“Ariel helped us out with 3 days notice when we had an event to attend and realized all our care takers would be at the event. Ariel was very accommodating to our girl by allowing her to live life as she knows it. From the pictures that she sent, our girl seemed quite content. Thank You Ariel for your kindness. We will be requesting Ariel as a repeat sitter in the future.”
“Anghella was amazing! She was available on short notice, she was close, and Obi was awesome too! There was a miscommunication on my end and she was able to accomodate my needs. After meeting Anghella I did not feel anxious or worried about leaving our pup with her. Thank you Anghella!!! We will be using her in the future.”
“Tara and Peter are great dog sitters! I received pictures and update daily. The pups were treated like family pets. I would definitely leave my pups with them in the future.”
“Mike was fantastic. He took great care of our dog while we were out of the country. He sent us photo updates throughout the stay. His backyard is fully fenced in and beautiful. And Pickle and Burt were very welcoming to Theo. We will book Mike again when we need a sitter. Highly recommend”

Monique is the best! She takes such great care of our dogs. She administered medication and I felt so comfortable leaving them with her. This is the second time she has kept them for us and I am immediately booking her again. She was so flexible with pickups and drop offs and it’s easy to tell that she is so good with them! Highly recommended!
